Historic Moment: Barcelona Faces First Draw at the Johan Cruyff Stadium

The blue and red squad experienced a setback in their 80th match at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, marking the first time they didn’t secure a victory since their inaugural game on September 7, 2019, against CD Tacón (9-1). Until this encounter, Barcelona had played 79 matches and claimed victories in all of them across La Liga, Copa de la Reina, and the Champions League.

The Johan Cruyff Stadium, inaugurated in the 2019-20 season, had been a fortress for Barcelona, witnessing 64 victories in La Liga (341 goals scored, 22 conceded), 12 triumphs in the Champions League (53 goals for, 4 against), and 3 wins in the Copa (15 goals scored, 0 conceded).

Under the management of Lluís Cortés from September 7, 2019, to June 27, 2021, Barcelona played 34 matches with 34 wins, scoring 177 goals and conceding 15. Subsequently, under Jonatan Giráldez from September 4, 2021, to February 7, 2024, the team played 45 matches, securing 45 victories, and registering 232 goals while only conceding 11.

However, on this Wednesday, Levante, currently third in the league, managed to secure a 1-1 draw in the 80th match, ending Barcelona’s tradition of celebrating victories at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.
